New York, Dec. 12. --The building of a new city for a great international heaith resort on the coast of New Jer- Cape May, at an expense of by a syndicate including JI. C. Frick, George. J.. Gould, A. J. Cassatt and other equally prominent captains of industry, working in operation with the United States gov- s€V, near 21,500,000, cor ernment and the Philadelphia and Reading railway companies, is. the colossal scheme revealed by the filing of papers at Toronto, N.J. The plans for the resort are cla- horate and daring in the extreme and conte plate an American Riveria, an all-the-year-round metropolis, where the wealth Ad fashion of the world will gather. Saoariwous hotels are to be bui't and gu great artificial haven, 600 ac res, in extent, to accommodate the biggest sca-going yachts of the globe trotting millionaires, will be con- structed. The syndicate is represented by the Beachwood Improvement company, the president of which is State Senator William E. Flinn, the republican lead- er who kept M. 8S. Quay out of the senate for two years, and principal owner of the Sharon Steel company, which recently consolidated with the Union Steel company, owned by H. C. Frick and A. W. Mellon. They have purchased 3,000 acres in j Jape May City and 1,000 acres at Two Mile Beach, at a cost of $500,000 | and the Cape May electric plant lfor $100,000. Three thousand men will be employed this winter in erecting one hundred cottages around the vacht haven lake, at a cost of $10,000 each. The first hotel to be erected will cost $1,000,000, and another is already planned to cost $600,000. The government has promised to co operate in deepening the waterways to the lake, and the Cape May citizens have voted to expend S100,000 for a boardwalk and bulkhead along the beach. The Pennsylvania and Read- ing Railway companies will run spe ial express trains to the new resort. Notes. Sydepham .

Ottawa, Dec.' 13.--Their excellencies the governor-general and Lady Minto and suite have returned from Mont- real, "after winning golden opinions there for their uniform. kindliness and charming manners. Enthusiastic Mont- real is now suggesting that in future the governor-general have residences in Montreal and Toronto, and spend a part of each year there. Lady Minto, said ome writer, is a perfect example of la grande dame and the young peo- ple were charmed with her beautiful and winning young daughter, the Lady Eileen Elliott. Ottawa society is pleas- ed to have them home again, and as Lord and Lady Minto are real home lovers, they must be pleased to gath- er about them again their younger children, the Ladies Ruby and Violet, and the Hon. Esmonde Elliot, who re- mained at Rideau Hall with their gov- ernesses. Lord Melgund will spend Christmas at home after his year at Eton, having come over in care of his aunt, the Countess of Antrim, and his cousins, on the Oceanic. . «ee Ottawa young people are quite ex- cited over the approaching bachelor's ball, to be given in the Racquet Court on New Year's Eve. It has been de- finitely decided that it will not be bal poudre much to the regret of a num- ber of young ladies, who have been much enamored of the idea. Several attempts have been made to have a bal poudre in Ottawa, during the past few seasons, but so far each has fail- ed. However, since the bachelor's is not to take that form, rumor! is whispering that some of the hostesses are ,contemplating giving one of these charming entertainments. « wie le The Countess of Aberdeen has ac- cepted the nomination of herself, bv the Canadian and other National Councils of Women, as president of the International Council to succeed Mrs. May Wright Sewall. She does so, how- ever, on the distinct understanding that the next meeting of the Interna- tional Council, which wili come in the vear 1909, shall be held in Canada, in accordance with 'the invitation of the Canadian Council, and she also wishes it to be understood that when the time comes it may not be possible for her to take office. Lady Aberdeen was the first president of the Interna- tional Council of Women, and it was her wealth, energy and social prestige, more than anything else, w brought the organization into exist- ence and established it in life. - - - - The Canadian South African Memo- rial Association, of which Her Excel Jency the Countess of Minto is presi- 'dent, has nearly completed prepara- tions for the patriotic work indicated by its name, and it is hoped that the graves of Canadian soldiers in South Africa, the condition of which has been very painful to Canadians in that country--will soon be suitably marked. Detailed information regard- ing the location of the graves which number over two hundred, has been secured, and with very few exceptions, the relatives of the deceased have been communicated with. The sum of $6,000, which the committee considers sufficient, has been raised and estim- ates and drawincs for the monuments are expected shortly from various firms of stone masons in South Af- rica. As soon as a contract with one of these firms has been concluded it is proposed to erect at once two large memorials, one at Paardebere and the other at Hart's River, the two fichts in which the Canadians especially dis- tinguished themselves. Afterwards the work of marking single graves will be proceeded with, and in this the wishes of relatives will, as far as possible, he followed. The Memorial Association is co-operating with' the Guild of Loval Women of South' Africa, and is also in constant communication with Colonel Greenwood and Mme. de Lotbiniere, {%nadians resident at Johannesburg. . - - - The Soldiers'" Wives League is ar- ranging for its annual Christmas fes tival, and is giving a bazaar to-day to raise the necessary fund. Every the league entertains about two year hundred children in the drill hall and Santa Claus has always graced the occasion by his personal presence. Her Excellency the Countess of Minto has also been present once or twee, and last Christmas received a bouquet of flowers from the patron saint of the season. se ww A well known clergyman, of the Church of England has written To the National Council of Women call ing its attention to what he calls the 'white slave" traffic. He states that this business is as well organizegl and as thoroughly equipped as any influen- tial insurance company and is carried on in much the same way, with secret agencies throughout the civilized world. The methods of enticing the victims are various. - Frequently the agents go around the country districts and promise good situations in dis tant towns, or they advertise for lady companions, maids, ete., and then either induce or compel the applicants to remain. The writer of this letter does not think that the business in question exists to any extent in Can- ada, but believes that there are sever al agencies, and the local councils, when the matter was brought to their attention, have been shocked to find how much need there was for the warning. The local councils have been asked by the National Council execu- tive to report all suspicious advertise ments and other indications of the traffic that may come to their knowl edge, to the corresponding secretary, for transmission to the proper author ities. su Wo has - - - . Mrs. Asa Gordon evangelistic perintendent, for the Dominion men Christian Temperance Union, just sent out the annual call to pray- er, asking the unions to set apart January 3rd as a day of praise and intercession. The communication refers to the recent vote as a 'victory' and assumes that the s#htiment of Un tario is undoubtedly in favor of pro hibition. The union"has apparently no motion of giving up the fight for its favorite measure, and is as little dis- posed as ever to propose or support a less radical method of dealing wiiu the liquor traffic. It was hoped by some that if the last attempt to se- cure prohibition failed, as it was bound to do, the prohibitionists might be induced to join hands with more moderate reformers in some more prac- tical scheme, but' the Women's Chris- tian Temperance Union at least has apparently no intention of doing so. FASHION'S FANCIES. The Debutante Holds Sway--The Latest Fad. New York, Dec. 13.--Society now is worshipping at the shrine the debutante. And shall we say that the debutante is paying homage to Dame Fashion ? This might savor of spitefulness, but it is nearer the truth than to say she is worshipping at society's shrine. From earliest thildhood the young women of wealth and fashion is drill- ed in the conventions of the world in which she moves; but all the-training just of of a lifetime can not instill into her that indescribably something "Which we inadequately call chic. It must either be inborn or she must hire some one to select her gowns to whom this talent has been given. Pretty gowns are always a fascinat- ing topic, but the modes this season are irresistibly alluring. There is so much individuality about them. And individuality is the keynote oi fash- ion. The simplest bodice is smart on- ly as it is distinctive and the energies of the modistes are concentrated to- ward originality in everything. One may run the entire gamut of dress materials and in the end find no- thing more popular than the ever-ad- aptable chifion. It is used exquisitely in a debutante frock with a rose pat- tern arranged in lengthwise stripes upon the skirt. The flowers are all of pink-shaded silk, joined by spangled vines, All over the rest of the surface of the chifion, at not infrequent intervals "fare strewn clusters of rose and silver paillettes to represent dew drops. The sleeves are finished with a ruflle at the bow and the bodice is decorated elaborately with roses and spangles to match. Underneath is worn a slip of palest pink satin, which, by the way, is growing more and more popular. Debutante gowns, while simple in ef- fect, are rich in material, and the costliest of trimmings ornament them. Wild roses, summer daisies in white and yellow and all sorts of unpreten- tious blooms decorate plain founda- tions of net or crepe de chine, but these are embroidered or hand-painted, with additional trimmings of silver or gold and lace that make the price of such a gown well nigh fabulous. Yet many ambitious young women accomplish much of this work them- selves. It is certainly an easy mat- ter to select a simple white net and embroider it in any design that hap- pens to strike the fancy. For the benefit of those who like variety it may be stated that flowers have by no means a monopoly upon fashion- able schemes of decoration. Silver and gold tissue combined with satin and velvet are 'bunched' into the similitude of grapes, cherries, currants and 'all sorts of fruits, while the un- embroidered surface is spangled with sequins to correspond. Plainer gowns are ornamented with lace, but usually two kinds are used to accomplish the fashionable effect. Irish and filet is a chic combination and. especially pretty. And, too, the effect is curious and it requires something like genius to do all of this. There are those who claim that dress-making an art" rather than a trade. Surely there is none to dispute it, if we must judge by this season's fashions. ~ Speaking further concerning the use of Irish and filet laces, motifs in these effects are clev- erly joined with raised embroidery to give a peculiarly beautiful warmth of tone. An ivory white coming out frock shows this combination of laces joined with large rings of passementerie and fringes that sway with each movement S of the figure. The skirt is of embossed cloth in the same ivory shade, the white being relieved with sable tails at the side of the opening and a touch of nastuftium velvet at the throat and wrists. Fashion's horn of plenty seems limit- less. Almost every day brings some new vagary of trimaming to view. The very latest devices for imparting "flufliness" to evening and reception gowns is a lovely new chiffon ruching which is edged with marabout. It is offered only in black and white, or the two colors combined, but they mingle well 'with light pink, blue and green and the neutral tints. A fad which is rather an accessory than detail 'of trimming comprises a set of handkerchiefs dyed to_ match cach gown. The vogue has just" arriv- ed from Paris and is creating some- thing of a furore in Gotham. Scarcely anything in the form of a hem or border is allowed on these handker- chiefs, and if two shades of color go to make up a gown, it is the darker shade that present taste will select for the handkerchief. While nothing® can be said in dis- paragement of the long coat, it must be admitted that the enveloping cape has returned with something of sudden favor. This cape is developed in pale tinted and white cloths and ornament- ed with moire embroidery and heavy silk braids. The lining is usually of ermine or sable. The prettiest of the paletots and Monte Carlo effects now show several capelets over the shoulders and sleeves that are more voluminous than ever. Unfortunately these two styles must be avoided by the woman of ditninui- tive figure because of the fact that they make for width. Indeed what the short, stout sister- hood must wear this year is not of so much importance to her as what she should not wear, for finding what is becoming a comfort in itself, since it can be worn without danger at any time. The many-caped wide-sleeved coats already referred to aré against her, then there are the hanging drap eries, from the hat which tend at once to shorten the neck, and dwarf the figure. Aggravating this effect is the tulle bow, front or back, which seems little less than indispensable. Hats for afternoon and evening. made of fur and Irish lace are very smart. The lace is appliqued or rather embedded in the fur in a very artistic manner so that no other trimming is required. One is glad of this fact, too, "Sunlight Soap to contain that high percentage of oil or fat necessary to A Good Laundry Soap." "Sunlight Soap to contain No Unsaponifjied Fat." "Sunlight Soap to contain No Free Alkali." "Sunlight Soap to contain No Loading Mixture, "Sunlight Soap has a Thorough Cleansing Power without danger to the clothes or skin."

Hodgson Ellis Official Analyst to the Dominion Government. Prof. W. Hodgson Ellis reports: No Adulteration Whatever.' ANALYSES BY An excess of resin and other cheap ingre- dients takes the place of oils or fats in common laundry soaps--thus flannels are hardened and shrunk, and linen ruined. Sunlight Soap is a Good Laundry Soap. Fat not turued into soap would have no cleansing power, but® would be waste. There is Absolutely no Waste in Sunlight Soap. The pure alkali used in the manufacture of Sunlight Soap is so exactly balanced with the oils and fat that no surplus or free alkali is left to injure the hands or clothes. Sunlight Soap is Neutral. Loading mixtures or adulterations cost about one-fourth the price of oils and fats, and they are put into common soaps to increase their weight, but they are valueless to the user. Sunlight Soap is all Pure Soap. When a good soap is dissolved in water, the dirt should attach itself to the flakes of soap and come away in the rinsing, reduc- ing hard rubbing, labor, and wear on the clothes. The clothing and skin cannot be injured by a well-made soap. Sunlight Soap is Good for Clothing and Skin. These are adulterants or twin sisters to adulterants. As these adulterants lack washing property, uncombined alkali is left in common soaps to help out their lack of cleansing properties, and thus the hands and clothes are damaged. Sunlight Soap is the 'Standard of Quality. . Pure flour and pure yeast do not necessar- ily mean good bread--it may be spoiled in the making. A staff of chemists test not merely the ingredients of Sunlight Soap, but the Soap itself in every stage of its manufacture. Thus Sunlight Soap is Well Made. Ask for the Octagon Bar. 1 Ih [ iy ht S.
